    This document discusses the gradient and directional derivatives. It provides examples of calculating the gradient and interpreting it to find critical points. It also reminds students about an upcoming test and help session. The key points are: - The gradient is a vector whose components are the partial derivatives and represents the maximum rate of increase of a function. - Directional derivatives calculate the derivative along a specific direction and can be used to determine if the derivative is positive/negative (uphill/downhill). - Finding where the gradient is zero helps locate critical points of a function. - There is a test on October 17th and a help session on October 11th from 6-8pm to prepare.
